Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: February 13, 2026
How We Earn Revenue
HearDeals.com is a participant in affiliate programs with hearing aid brands including Cearvol and Linner. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the sale. This commission comes at no additional cost to you – you pay the same price whether you use our link or visit the store directly.
What This Means for You
- No extra cost: Affiliate commissions are paid by the brand, not by you. Your purchase price remains the same regardless of whether you use our affiliate link.
- Coupon codes still work: Coupon codes (like SMARTHEAR for Cearvol or BONUS20 for Linner) work independently of our affiliate tracking. You receive the full discount advertised. Codes may change at any time.
- Your data stays private: We do not have access to your personal information or purchase details. We only receive aggregated commission reports from our affiliate partners.
Editorial Independence
Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are not influenced by affiliate commissions. We evaluate every hearing aid on the same objective criteria regardless of whether we earn a commission from its sale. If a product has flaws, we report them honestly. If a cheaper product outperforms a more expensive one, we recommend the cheaper option.
We maintain the following editorial standards:
- Brands cannot pay for favorable reviews or higher ratings
- All products are rated on the same consistent criteria
- Negative aspects of products are always disclosed
- Coupon codes are verified independently of affiliate relationships
- We recommend the best product for the user, not the highest commission
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
Links to official brand stores (such as "Shop Cearvol" or "Shop Linner" buttons) are affiliate links. Internal links to other pages on HearDeals.com (such as review pages or coupon pages) are not affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to the official brand store where you can browse, shop, and apply coupon codes as usual.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate commissions support our ability to research, test, and publish free content about OTC hearing aids. Without this revenue, we would not be able to maintain the site, verify coupon codes regularly, or update our reviews with the latest product information. Your support through affiliate links helps us continue providing independent hearing aid guidance at no cost to readers.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We are committed to transparency about our business relationships and how they may relate to our content.
